Any more O-rings at retail plans from Hasbro?
 
I know last year they did the "Then & Now" with O-Ring Snow Job, the Battle Bear, the Rockslide, and new-style Snow Job, and I heard Rumors of a 1982-esq Hawk, MMS, and their new counterparts but never saw THAT one at retail - only the MMS done in Cobra colors.

Does anyone know of any plans Hasbro has to release any more O-Ring Joes besides Snow Job from last year?

No the molds are all destroyed.

So that's gonna make all the original ones floating around on ebay and such even rarer...

And that means that Snow Job will go down in history as the last/most recently made 3 3/4" Joe (since all the 25ths etc. measure closer to 4") made from an original mold....

So I guess it's up to Snow Job to "turn out the lights"

- joke's on us I guess. :(

There's a new line coming soon called SK Omega that's going to be O-Rings, but I think it's only going to be available to online retailers.

No, a good amount of the molds were destroyed, not all of them. The Club is even considering one last o-ring set for 2013.

Also in one of the question and answer forums a while back it was mentioned that Hasbro said NO to O-ring period.. The Then & Now sets they were thinking about were mostly using the comic pk molds not the original molds...so it wouldn't have been the 82 esque look anyways but a comic pk look of the uniform... They did have some test shots of ones but it was only Duke, SE, and Storm Shadow if I remember correctly..

So other than the SK Omega figs and a OCCASIONAL Corp figure or set here and there yea its pretty dead.. Unless Mattel ups their figures with the 70's articulation and starts using O-rings for their super hero lines..:rolleyes: ..yea RIGHT... Mattel sticks with the 5 pts of articulation and thats it.

Negative, the ARAH molds are gone. Hasbro said so this last Q&A. The only molds that would be o-ring are the JvS or VvV or DTC ones.
